Description

The farmbuilding group located to the north of Garden House dates from the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed rubble with cut quoins, sills, and lintels, and features graduated stone slate roofs, except for a small extruded block that has asbestos sheets. The main buildings are arranged in an L-shape. The north range has one and two storeys with three irregular bays. The two-storey central bay includes a boarded door, a boarded pitching door with an 8-pane overlight, and a pyramid roof. The east bay has a hip-ended roof. The single-storey west range has four bays and features a 20th-century garage door on the west side, with a roof that is hip-ended to the south. There is also a small L-shaped outbuilding at the west end of the north range, which includes boarded and stable doors, as well as small casement and slatted windows.
